Tiivistelmä:This article examines the societal determinants of older people’s participation in non-market productive activities. Based on micro-data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, logistic multilevel models for individuals’ engagement in formal volunteering, informal helping, and caring are estimated across 11 countries. The findings partially support hypotheses concerning the relationship between specific macro-level variables and individuals’ productive engagement at older ages. Also hypotheses regarding a positive relationship between greater political and religious freedom as well as the provision of welfare state services and older individuals’ tendency to engage in productive aging are mainly supported.
